@EricNCSU - You're awesome, and I'm glad you've been my Co-GM. That probably seems like a really short statement, but there really aren't words for how much I appreciate everything you've done and that you do.

@CptSquall - My favorite days as a player in St. Louis were with you and Dangel as my linemates, and I'm glad we're still teammates in Toronto. You're also one of my guys in the St. Louis war room, and you're one of my favorite people on this site. I'm glad I know you, dude.

@rum_ham - You're one of the first people I scouted and really clicked with. You do so much to help out, as a player and a scout, and you're another one of my favorite people. I don't know where I would be as a GM or player without having you around, and I don't want to think too much on it, since it would probably suck by comparison.

@Rancidbudgie - Before we drafted you, I had so many people tell me how awesome you are and how I needed to draft you and get you on the team. Since I met you, you've just consistently made them right. You're a genuinely great human, and I'm so glad you're a part of my team and my daily life.

@fishy - I'm so glad you stayed on as our coach. You helped me come out of my shell when I was drafted to St. Louis, you were one of the first people to welcome me to the team and to the league. It means a lot that you're still a part of that for the new 'Crows that come in now as well. Thank you.

@Nictox, @JKortesi81, @SlashACM, @FuzzSHL -- Between Team USA and then later St. Louis, you guys did a lot to get me started and invested in the league, and helped me grow as a GM. Thank you.

To my S52 buddies: @Mutedfaith, @Geekusoid, @notoriousTRON, and @RedCapeDiver -- You guys are amazing, and you drive me to be a better person and player by how good you are. I don't think any of us predicted what the next year had in store for us the night after the draft when we sat down and recorded our first (and so far only published) podcast episode. It's been a wild ride so far, and I'm glad to have gotten to know each of you guys along the way. Even if Muted is a dirty Falcon.

To all the 'Crows I got to play with before: @Rankle, @Evok, @Paq, @lilstifler, @JaytheGreat, @Your Mothers Favorite Goalie, @Jericson -- I'm glad I got to play with all of you, and I'd gladly do it again if the opportunity arose. You're all great teammates, and I really enjoyed the privilege of sharing a team with you.

To all the current 'Crows that haven't already been mentioned: @gordieboom, @iStegosauruz, @RippleLuck, @Serpe x 13, @budweiser, @Asked Madden, @Urq660, @bjkman, @ImYolo, and @Kagomewolf78 -- I'm so glad you're on our team and in our locker room. I know we haven't been good, and that makes building up a struggle, but we are building a great team. I believe in each of you, and I'm glad you're still here. Thank you.

And finally, last but not least, to the Toronto North Stars: @Mika_Kandinsky, @Carpy48, @Rich, @charlieconway, @gurbs, @Massive Coiler, @Tayjay, @Moreorless89, @honkerrs, @Dextaria, @Tylar, @SFresh3, @ml002, and @UrsinZ -- I love you guys. You're each a delight to play with and talk to on a daily basis. You're probably the fastest group of friends I've ever made in my life, and you're all remarkable people. Signing an extension on my birthday this year really was a gift because that's how I feel about being a part of our team and locker room. I'm so excited for what's to come when we get to be a complete team for the first time, and for the seasons and success to come.

@Amidships hi, you're the best and I love you<3

@r0tzbua I'm so thankful to have made such an amazing friend through these crazy sim leagues. Can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate our chats. Amid and I really look forward to getting some post-COVID beers with you one day soon!

@inverted you're kind of a degenerate sometimes, but you're our degenerate and we love you. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do to keep us invested in sim leagues and for just being a great friend on top of that.

@zaynzk @enigmatic @Rev @Asked Madden @gucci You are all amazing human beings and I feel so privileged to have been able to play with you guys over the last few months. I'm so pumped you're all here in the SHL now and look forward to getting into some more shenanigans with you all here as well Smile

dankoa · 12-21-2020, 05:07 AM

@Slowpoke you are a great dude and someone who I have enjoyed being on a team with for the last almost 20 seasons, you have a lot of good advice on every subject ever and are a very underappreciated part of the team. Hope we win you another cup very soon

***Patty*** · 12-21-2020, 05:08 AM

@hotdog I was really worried when I figured out I was gonna be exposed in the expansion draft. I've got some great friends I was looking forward to playing with in Chicago. Atlanta has become another home for me and that's because of you. I've been spoiled by meeting some great people on this site and you're up at the top of that list. Thanks for being you.

@SDCore@JNH I say it a lot but thank you so much for bringing me back. This shitty year would have been unbearable without Newfoundland. Love ya.

@juke@Nhamlet Can't take the lads out of Newfoundland. Hammy is like my responsible bro who's setting always good example. and Juke is my degen brother reminding me not to work too hard and take just one more shot. You're both homies.

Anyone else in the Newfoundland LR I love you all.

Salming · 12-21-2020, 05:26 AM

@Evok Merry Christmas and thank you for being a very friendly and empathic GM in Quebec City. I appreciate a lot your willingness to always help everyone who has something to ask for. I agree with @Keven that you really care about the team and it doesn't go unnoticed.

@Faelax Merry Christmas and thank you for leading us to the top of the table with your tactics. You are also very dedicated person and great partner for Evok in Quebec City's management staff. You have good chemistry and it is easy to be a reliable player on ice when you two are behind the bench.

FinnRhys · 12-21-2020, 07:28 AM

This is actually incredibly hard because I don't think I could name just one person I am thankful for. As cliche as it sounds, I am incredibly thankful for all of my teammates on the Blizzard. I am not really active in discord but when I do show up they always welcome me with open arms and it really does feel like we always pick up right where we left off.

@Mazatt @CrazyMojito @Snoopdogg @boom @Nokazoa @Keygan @C9Van @MrStennett @Julio Tokolosh @James Truong @karlssens @"TommySalami"

Special shout out also goes to @Muford for just being a straight up badass that I kinda miss mucho (mostly because I'm never on discord anymore).

@Gwdjohnson
I've seen you as one of the most important members of this site ever since joining, which might seem strange since you were in junior when I started. But I remember well you giving me advice on my build and what to emphasize back when Anchorage had their draft combine. I hope people out there don't take the memes too seriously, because I'd hate to see you considered anything but a wonderful person to have around.

@Muerto, @roastpuff, @reid, @StadiumGambler
I'm still sorry in a way for leaving the Jets, especially since it was me that asked out, but I can't thank you enough for the things you've said and the time we spent in Jets management. Kez especially: the way you approached the whole situation was very kind and understanding, and I can't thank you enough for keeping me in the loop at the end. I want to see nothing but good things for all of you in the future.

@hhh81
I believe the SMJHL All-Star Committee was my first job on the site, and you made it a treat to participate in. You were a great committee head, and whoever replaces me will find out in short order that you do your job well.

@Gwdjohnson, @Kalakar, @Otrebor13, @Nokazoa, @Briedaqueduc, @5ympathies, @RotticusScott, @Naosu, @Ferda, @DrunkenTeddy, @Huck24, @Weretarantula, @Ace, @Snoopdogg, @Gumbaman, @jeffie43
The Team Canada locker room has been the biggest stable influence in my SHL experience. It has seen up and downs in activity, but the core members have always been there to talk about the league and other things. I know I added a few names there that technically aren't with Team Canada anymore, but I appreciate your time with Canada anyway, and I understand your reasons for leaving. As great as it is to have a great team full of high-TPE players, Canada is more lucky to have such a great group of people in its LR.

@Carpy48, @Mika_Kandinsky, @Massive Coiler, @UrsinZ, @gurbs, @CptSquall, @notoriousTRON, @Capt_Blitzkrieg, @Rich, @ml002, @Tayjay, @Moreorless89, @honkerrs, @Dextaria, @Tylar, @SFresh3, @juniped
The Toronto North Stars locker room has been so incredibly welcoming, I have to thank you all. Not once have I been made to feel out of place, and I know it can be difficult to have someone new come in to a set group. You've done well in making me feel at home, and I thank you for it. I'm excited to spend time with you all more as the seasons go on.

@CementHands, @Citizen of Adraa, @Flareon
Flareon and CoA, you gave me an introduction to the site that really showed me how positive an experience it could be. I'm glad I was drafted by Halifax, and I'm also glad to have spent my junior days with you, Krash. You've turned into a great part of the league, and I'm blown away by the passion you've shown in taking on leadership roles wherever you go.

***bluesfan55*** · 12-21-2020, 08:44 AM

Thanks to @Acsolap and @artermis for drafting me in the J and putting up with my bullshit in Anchorage. Ass especially; you may be a hardman on site but off it you're as nice as they come and I'm super happy to have won a cup for you.
Thanks to @golden_apricot @frithjofr @honkerrs @Ferda @.bojo @Frick_Nasty @Ronniewalker @Budgie @mdubz @Bongo @Wearingabear for being great teammates in Anchorage and making my second juniors experience way better than the first. It was an honor to have been your captain for a season.
Thanks to @Gwdjohnson for having enough trust in a scrub like me to have me as a coach for the Armada and doing a great job as ANC GM so far. We may give you loads of shit but you're an awesome dude who I'm lucky to be friends with.
And finally, thanks to @hotdog @Weretarantula @ml002 @Tomen for also putting up with my bullshit in Anchorage and making that LR, along with everyone else I mentioned, the best I've ever had the privilege of being in.
Y'all are fucking great. I could tag more but this post would be almost a page long so I'll stop it here.

ty to @High Stick King @EvilAllBran and @Ragnar for the sigs

***golden_apricot*** · 12-21-2020, 08:48 AM

@Acsolap thank you for being so kind and loving in the anchorage LR. I know you like to put up the façade of being cold in other LRs in the league but the kindness and compassion you show in ANC is great. I know you would love to give everyone in there a hug becuase you are that kind of person. I hope you have a great holiday buddy.

***Chevy*** · 12-21-2020, 09:34 AM

This shoutout goes to an old Anaheim mate of mine, @notoriousTRON with whom I've been happy to share many a meaningful discussion with in regards to professions, fatherhood, programming, podcasts and of course...HOCKEY. He truly is a pleasure to be around, and I can't wait to meet up for a Blues game whenever it becomes safe to do so.

Rabidsponge21 · 12-21-2020, 09:42 AM

@puolivalmiste

Not only is he incredibly patient with all the questions I always have about things, he is always there to help us with any of the major tasks which require some testing in FHM to verify for casino bets - season predictions etc. It's a god send and I appreciate the extra miles he goes for the team all the time.

Steve · 12-21-2020, 09:44 AM

I have wore out many people in the league but one person still seems to be there with open arms and that would be @juke. He has been friendly and has helped me over a few seasons and I appreciate his friendly demeanor. Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday.

Mavfatha · 12-21-2020, 09:49 AM

@Blastmeaway we joined the Inferno together through the Expansion draft and you've been a mainstay of the locker room in a good way ever since. I don't chat in there as much as I could but you post the best stuff and I read pretty much everything. Also shoutout to @caltroit_red_flames for being an awesome teammate across several leagues and for all the effort you put in to NSHL back in the day; maybe it wasn't a direct correlation but where the SHL is now with a real sim engine instead of STHS feels like a successor to the groundwork you started. Finally @bilbo we haven't talked as much in awhile but you are the best and it was a joy to be your teammate in the past.

KC15 · 12-21-2020, 10:10 AM

Can I do a group shoutout? My Argonauts teammates are awesome in the LR. Fun to hang out with even though I don't talk that much. It's just great to see how supportive they are and how much they care about off-ice stuff in other people's lives as well. Just to make sure this counts for the TPE, I'll add that @notorioustig has been awesome as our GM.
